Did NOT work. When Iright click on the game in the Origin library, the dialogue box opens, but I am unable to perform this action. The Repair Game, Game Properties, and Uninstall options are there, but I cannot click on any of them. Getting very confused frustrated and p!ssed off.
In order to make the game work, right click on the game and click "Game Properties" then click "Disable Origin In game"

This solution darcrysd1974 mentioned works just fine 🙂
Thanks mate!
